Great educationally, needs a couple of practical improvements

I would definitely recommend this app for its educational value. My daughter is 3 and has been playing for two days and is already on Level 3 (multiple and complicated words). I wish it had more levels, but that alone was definitely worth the $3. However, it needs the following features:

1. "Hit" spots need to be expanded. It can be difficult to get the mouse to go riiiiight over the right spot to hit the square where the letter should be, causing the letter to fall back down. This can be frustrating if they know they have the right letter and just cant get it to "stick."

2. The letter sounds are wrong/inadequate. This is confusing and requires almost constant parental intervention to "correct" the sounds. It needs to either not have the sounds at all, or give all the different sounds a letter can make.

Other than that, this is a fantastic game and my daughter really likes playing it when shes not incredibly frustrated at its practical problems. If these minor problems are fixed in an update, I will happily change my review to 5 stars. As it stands, the game is fantastic concept, but a few minor details make the execution enough that the game is a bit difficult to play.
